Summary. Plasma copper concentration was significantly lower in 48 infertile women than in 35 control subjects and somewhat lower in women with secondary rather than primary infertility. Plasma zinc concentration was not appreciably different in infertile and fertile women. Low plasma copper concentration may influence normal human female fertility.
